WE ARE THE PLAZA 16 COALITION

WE ARE A UNIFIED MISSION DISTRICT

NO MONSTER IN THE MISSION

We are neighborhood residents, businesses, and community organizations from the 16th and Mission neighborhood and Mission District. We formed in the fall of 2013 to advocate for affordable housing in the Mission and to oppose the largest market-rate development ever proposed for the neighborhood, the development known as the Monster in the Mission. We have grown to a coalition of well over 100 organizations.

We believe in equitable development that creates healthy, vibrant, communities of opportunity. We believe this requires thoughtful, intentional, and community-based strategies to ensure that low-income communities and communities of color participate in and benefit from the decisions that shape our neighborhoods and our city’s transit-oriented development.
